We are always searching for new experiences for our guests, so you might be interested in this great 1/2 day excursion option from the villas.

While Costa Rica's main exports today are optical, photographic, technical and medical devices, the country's best-known exports are probably fruits (pineapples, mangoes, bananas) and coffee. Which is more important to you? I know that when I wake up to my alarm every morning, I don't crave medical....

For anyone who is considering living permanently in Costa Rica, and wants to rent in different areas around the country try to decide where they want to settle, we have had a recent cancellation from a long-term rental, so we have a villa available, although even before this post, we already have two enquiries expressing interest.

If you are interested, send us a note using the WhatsApp button, and let us know when you are looking to move into a new place, and for how long.

Just minutes from the villas, in Dominical, Friday mornings mean that Eco Feria Dominical is open all morning. In Costa Rica, a Feria is like a farmer’s market.

The feria in Dominical offers a fun mix of fresh produce, delicious ready-to-eat foods, talented artisans, jewelry and more.

It’s a great place for some unique finds.

At Villas Escondrijo, we are nestled into the jungle, away from external light pollution. We love how the villas light up at night, and when you turn out the lights and go for a night swim in the pool on a clear night and give your eyes a minute or two to adjust, millions of unseen stars gradually become visible, erasing much of the blackness from the night sky.

En Villas Escondrijo estamos enclavados en la selva, lejos de la contaminación lumínica externa. Nos encanta cómo las villas se iluminan por la noche, y cuando apagas las luces y vas a nadar de noche a la piscina en una noche clara y le das a tus ojos uno o dos minutos para adaptarse, millones de estrellas invisibles se vuelven visibles gradualmente, borrándose. gran parte de la oscuridad del cielo nocturno.

It’s tough to disagree with Costa Rica being the top destination in Central America, although I guarantee we can help you find more interesting and authentic adventures than the Starbucks coffee plantation mentioned in the article.

From small, local coffee plantations for gorgeous waterfalls, atv tours, humpback whale tours and paragliding to hiking, beaches, and trying the amazing local cuisine, the southern zone is the place for your vacation of a lifetime!

Many people want to know about the wildlife at Villas Escondrijo, and one of the first questions is usually, "Are there monkeys?"

So, are there monkeys?

Yes.

This is our daughter on the balcony of the Parrot Villa, pointing into the jungle, as she notes some stragglers in a troupe of white-faced capuchins while they slowly moved through the property, foraging for fruit and nuts left on the trees.

It's common to hear howler monkeys as well, many times each day, with multiple troupes calling to each other across the forest canopy. It can be difficult to pinpoint their location, since their call travels such a long distance, and the forest is rather dense surrounding the villas, but we do see them occasionally.

If you are lucky enough to have monkeys or other wildlife come for a visit at your balcony, please just watch them, but don't harrass or feed them. Natural food sources are abundant for them, and while we love their visits, we don't want them to count on Villa Guests as their source of food.



Mucha gente quiere saber sobre la vida silvestre en Villas Escondrijo y una de las primeras preguntas suele ser: "¿Hay monos?" Entonces, ¿hay monos? Sí. Esta es nuestra hija en el balcón de Parrot Villa, señalando hacia la jungla, mientras observa a algunos rezagados en un grupo de capuchinos de cara blanca mientras se movían lentamente por la propiedad, buscando frutas y nueces que quedaban en los árboles.

También es común escuchar monos aulladores, muchas veces al día, con múltiples grupos llamándose entre sí a través del dosel del bosque. Puede ser difícil determinar su ubicación, ya que su llamada recorre una distancia muy larga y el bosque es bastante denso que rodea las villas, pero los vemos de vez en cuando.

Si tiene la suerte de que monos u otros animales salvajes vengan a visitar su balcón, simplemente obsérvelos, pero no los acose ni los alimente. Las fuentes de alimentos naturales son abundantes para ellos y, si bien nos encantan sus visitas, no queremos que cuenten con los Huéspedes de la Villa como fuente de alimento.

The infinity pool at Villas Escondrijo looks out over the jungle to the Pacific Ocean, and you can enjoy the view from the palapa-covered pool. The in-pool table and seating make it a perfect place to spend an afternoon with friends, or Star-gaze during a beautiful night swim with the underwater lighting.



La piscina infinita de Villas Escondrijo tiene vista a la jungla y al Océano Pacífico, y puedes disfrutar de la vista desde la piscina cubierta con palapa. La mesa y los asientos dentro de la piscina lo convierten en un lugar perfecto para pasar una tarde con amigos o contemplar las estrellas durante un hermoso baño nocturno con la iluminación subacuática.

Villas Escondrijo is a stunning jungle oasis nestled into the side of a mountain, overlooking the jungle, with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean.

The villas are just two kilometres from the beach, but are approximately 850ft above sea level, which means that you enjoy cooling breezes, less humidity, and fewer bugs than you would closer to the beach.

Some days though, you just need to go to a waterfall with a rope swing. We are just over a kilometre from the Poza Azul Waterfall, a refreshing oasis with a deep swimming hole and a rope swing, conveniently located right on the road to Villas Escondrijo. Look for the parking area and an entrance to the short path through the jungle just past the town of Dominicalito. There are no signs.

Las villas están a solo dos kilómetros de la playa, pero se encuentran aproximadamente a 850 pies sobre el nivel del mar, lo que significa que disfrutará de brisas refrescantes, menos humedad y menos insectos que si estuviera más cerca de la playa.

Algunos días, sin embargo, solo necesitas ir a una cascada con un columpio de cuerda. Estamos a poco más de un kilómetro de la Cascada Poza Azul, un refrescante oasis con una profunda poza para nadar y un columpio de cuerda, convenientemente ubicado justo en el camino a Villas Escondrijo. Busque el área de estacionamiento y la entrada al sendero corto que atraviesa la jungla justo después del pueblo de Dominicalito. No hay señales.
